Brazilian transgender model Lea T. is one of the nine individuals joining the Benetton spring 2013 ad campaign launched on Thursday.
In a 60-second video for the campaign, Lea T. says she doesn't like secrets.
"I grew up between Italy and Brazil," she says. "People know maybe too much about me. I think the most curious things that people know about me are because I am transgender. I'm really open. I don't have any secrets about myself. I say everything about myself. I think it's too complicated to keep a secret."
